The Book whisperer

"A remarkable memoir... Every page allows me to live in her thoughts and marvel at how all of us who grew up poor and female are bonded, regardless of where we were raised or who raised us."

-Oprah Winfrey, O, The Oprah Magazine

"In her astonishing memoir If The Creek Don't Rise, Rita Williams descends into the caverns of her past and returns with a tale no less dramatic than the rugged mountains where it takes place. A remarkable book by a remarkable writer."
